Your blood type and your diet

Your blood type has something to say about your diet. It is also the reason why you are still gaining nothing despite the rigorous workout you’ve been inflicting upon yourself for the past few years. Or why you still have that midday lethargy after all the diets you’ve strictly followed.  


Type O: the hunter-gatherers


Type Os, known to be the energetic type, should eat meat such as lean beef, turkey, lamb, and fish. They must avoid over-consumption of dairy products, eggs, gluten, wheat, and bread due to their weak digestion capability, and eating beans and legumes, since they retain fluids, which is also bad for digestion and the bones.

Type A: the semi-vegetarians


Type As, contrary to Os, have the digestive enzymes and bacteria responsible for digesting grains and plants that other blood types find difficult to break asunder. Fish and anything poultry should be taken in moderation since they lack enough amounts of meat-digestion enzymes, whereas fruits, vegetables, and peas could help the As become more efficient. Soya, nuts, and beans are the best source of protein for this type. Since As get stressed easily, their workout should not be as rigorous as lifting weights; jogging and yoga should be perfect.

Type B: the omnivores


Type Bs have the combined traits of the Os and the As. They can enjoy the benefits of meat, dairy, and vegetable produces—in moderation nonetheless. However, they might have some trouble in how they metabolize, thus an abundance of seeds, nuts, grains, and wheat might put them in some serious digestion and metabolic problems. A balance of heavy workout and yoga is perfect for them.
